AAK (a'ak - 아악) - a type of folk music
Pansori was performed in an open plaza or local square, where the sorikkun (performer) and the audience could freely interact. The "min" in minyo means "folk", literally translating to "hymn of the folk." The project encourages interaction and communication between all groups of individuals. The intention is to increase the public's accessibility to traditional Korean music.
